Bogus Money Found
Huge Ring Broken
NEW YORK (■'Th — A mam
moth counterfeit operation, larg
est in the nation’s history, was
reported smashed Wednesday, be
fore ring members could unload
$50 million in fake $10, $20 and
$100 bills. Samples were avail
able for inspection by prospective
buyers.
Already in the hands of federal
officials were $4.1 million worth
of the fake $100 bills, packaged
in ordinary cardboard boxes and
seized Dec. 29 at Kennedy Air
port. Authorities said they were
being shipped to a buyer, who
had agreed to pay 10 cents on
the dollar — or more than $400,-
000 — for them.
Three men were arrested, one
in New York and two in Ohio.
The man seized in New York,
Joel Lee, a Miami Beach, Fla.,
lawyer, was described by federal
authorities as salesman and traf
fic manager for the ring. The
other two were accused of print
ing the money, none of which,
apparently, got into circulation.
FURTHER arrests were forecast
by Albert E. Whitaker, agent in
charge of the Secret Service in
New York.
The Kennedy Airport seizure
was the largest haul of phony
Former MP Joins
Campus Security
Joseph Biszalik, a former mili
tary policeman, has joined Texas
A&M Campus Security Office as
a patrolman.
A native of Detroit, Mich.,
Biszalik spent 12 years as an
Army policeman and 12 years in
the Army Medical and Dental
Corps.

and their children, Mickey, 12, and
Rose Ann, 15, live at 106 First

money in the history of the Se
cret Service, surpassing the 1963
recovery in San Francisco of $2
million in counterfeit $20 and $50
Federal Reserve notes.
The Kennedy Airport counter
feits were described as “pass
able” reproductions of regular
$100 bills, which bear the picture
of Benjamin Franklin.
“I don’t think New York was
their final destination,” Whitaker
said, “although the bills were
good enough to try to pass them
here.”
HE SPECULATED the $4.1
million was destined for overseas.
Lee, 39, father of three chil
dren, was arrested Tuesday night
at Kennedy Airport, while re
turning to Florida. He was held
in $25,000 bail by U. S. Commis
sioner Max Schiffman on charges
of possession, sale and delivery
of the $4.1 million in counter
feits.
At Lee’s bail hearing, Asst.
U. S. Atty. Raymond B. Grune-
wald said the defendant had ne
gotiated with one Dennis Lor
raine in New York, and worked
out a deal where the latter would
buy the $100 counterfeits for 10
per cent.
Lee was said by Grunewald to
have provided Lorraine with 221
sample bills in advance, so he
could examine their quality.
LORRAINE was not identified
beyond his name, and was not
listed among defendants in the
case.
In 1966, the Secret Service said,
Lee was accused of transporting
more than $300,000 in counter
feit money from Florida to Los
Angeles, but the charges later
were dropped.
In Ohio, Secret Service agents
Wednesday arrested Louis Chris
tian, 46, at his home in Canton,
and James Clark, 28, of Clinton,
Ohio, at his job in Akron. Both
were charged with printing coun
terfeit money.

Associated Press Writer
ST. LOUIS <^P) — Three male
patients were found dead early
today in a dormitory at the St.
Louis State School and Hospital.
Police said the patients appar
ently were strangled and the
slayings were premeditated.
Authorities said four patients
at the hospital were being ques
tioned in connection with the
deaths. Their names were not
released.
Maj. F. J. (Pete) Vasel of the
St. Louis County Police Depart
ment said the three victims ap
parently were strangled with
strips of bedsheet found near
their bodies in a ward of a secur
ity dormitory.
Dr. Cecil M. Baker, superin
tendent of the school, identified
the victims as Allen Jackson, 24,
and Henry Miller, 22, both of St.
Louis, and Gary Earl Boenker, 22,
of St. Charles, 20 miles west of
St. Louis. All were longtime pa
tients at the hospital.
Attendants found the victims
shortly after 6 a.m. in a ward
housing 29 patients. The ward is
part of Donnelly Hall at the in
stitution for mentally retarded
young persons.
The hospital is located in Bel-
lefontaine Neighbors, a suburb
just north of St. Louis.
Two of the victims were found
dead in adjoining beds, Dr. Baker
said. He added that the third
victim was found on the floor >
near his bed.
Dr. Baker said an attendant
makes an hourly check of the
locked wards. He said that the
hospital is understaffed, but
added, “I doubt if this could have
been prevented even if we had
more personnel.”
Donnelly Hall is a one-story
building with bars on the win
dows. A spokesman at the hos
pital said it is designed for pa
tients with behavious problems,
but not for patients considered
dangerous.
The hospital, opened in 1924,
has about 800 patients.
ATTENTION VOTERS
OF COLLEGE STATION
VOTE FOR CHARTER AMENDMENTS ON SATURDAY, JAN. 13
College Station has an estimated total popula
tion of 19,900 persons, including 6,000 who reside
in dormitories on the campus. The distribution
of the population residing outside the dormitories
is fairly equal among the wards but the vote cast
for election of councilmen in the years 1961
through 1967 is very unequal. Most interest
was shown in Ward 1, least in Ward 3 in which
many students reside.
It is obvious that the “Ward System” of elect
ing City Council Members fails to yield satis
factory results.

The Charter Amendment Committee recom
mended, among other itertis in its report, that
the method of electing councilmen be changed
from wards to one in which each candidate will
file for one of three places each year. Each voter
would have the opportunity to cast a vote for
one candidate for each of the three places each
year.
On the ballot to be used on Saturday, we urge
that the recommendation of the Charter Amend
ment Committee be followed by voting for the
first of the three options under Amendment No.

Air Force Capt. Windol C. Wea

has been assigned duty at Nha

A forward air controller, the
captain is assigned to a Pacific
Air Forces unit. He served at

fore going to Southeast Asia.

Willis H. Clark has been named
assistant program manager for
Texas A&M’s research efforts in
optimization and meteorology un
der Project Themis.
Clark, associate research en
gineer in the office of the vice
president for programs at the
university, will coordinate efforts
of the various interdisciplinary
teams under Dr. Andrew Suttle
Jr., vice president for research
and manager of the Themis pro
gram.
Project Themis is funded by
the Department of Defense with
the object of establishing “cen
ters of excellence” in various
studies at universities.

million, three-year grant funds
basic work in meteorology, has
emphasis on subjective forecast

In the optimization effort,
which seeks basic mathematical

ber of physical operations, Drs.
A. W. Wortham and Glen Self of

Ron Hocking' of the Institute of
Statistics are among the collab

es overseas, and in Alaska, Ha
waii and Puerto Rico. New airlift
also applies to parcels mailed
back to the States by servicemen
from these military post offices.
Parcels on which the $1 fee is
paid get transportation all the
way—from here to the port of
embarkation, and from there to
the overseas base. Postal patrons
formerly had to pay air parcel
post rates to get similar service.
Some examples are:
• A mother here sending a 15-
pound package to her son in
Vietnam pays $3.85 for the
new airlift service. The air
parcel post rate for the same
package is $10.91.
• An eight-pound package going
from here to Frankfort, Ger
many, costs $2.75 for the air
lift service. The air parcel rate
is $5.87.
It is not always to the mailer’s
advantage to use the airlift serv
ice. On some light packages air
parcel post rates may be lower
than the airlift charges.
“Postal patrons should check
with the Post Office for informa
tion on the best way to mail par
cels to servicemen overseas,” Post
master Gregg emphasized.
The new airlift service went
into effect January 7, 1968. It was
authorized under the postal rate
bill signed into law December 16
by President Johnson.
Postmaster Gregg explained
that the regular postage on par
cels mailed to servicemen over
seas is based on the distance the
package is hauled within the
United States. No charge is made
for carrying the package between
the U. S. port and the overseas
base.
Until January 7 airlift for
parcels to servicemen overseas
was restricted to packages weigh
ing up to five pounds. Upon pay
ment of the regular parcel rates,
these packages get service trans
portation to the port of embark
ation and are airlifted from there
to the overseas posts on a space
available basis.
There is no charge for this
partial airlift and overseas par
cels weighing up to five pounds
will continue to receive this serv
ice, Postmaster Gregg said.
